Australian Auto Aftermarket Expo Summary

Australian Clutch Services has enjoyed another successful Australian Auto Aftermarket Expo in Melbourne from 16th to the 18th of April 2015. ACS exhibited their brands over the 3 day event on their largest stand to date at 9m x 15m.  Twelve employees were also sent from around Australia to support the stand. This year ACS wished to strengthen current relationships as well as pursue new opportunities in the Australian and international market. A strong presence of technical staff as well as an introduction to the Clutch Tech online database helped to inform the enthusiastic attendees of the current and future technical information communications and development that can be sourced from Australian Clutch Services.  “It was important for us to inform the AAA Expo attendees of the development of the Clutch Tech database and help to guide them through various new developments in the clutch industry, particularly in regards to the development of tools and components for new advanced clutch systems”  Explains Brenton Jordan, Managing Director of Australian Clutch Services. “The organisation is growing at an impressive rate and we were thrilled to see the enthusiasm of the crowd to the brand”. The Australian Clutch Services stand illustrated the development of the organisation and the dedication of the group to the Australian Automotive Aftermarket. “I feel our stand represented the image and direction of the organisation well. It was not only impressive to look at, but was also warm and inviting. By providing not only a overview of what we do, but also a technical support team, I believe we were able to provide a fantastic package to our current and potential clients”.

Nissan Motorsport also had a significant presence on the Australian Clutch Services stand with an R35 GTR promotional vehicle displayed along with an autograph session with Michael Caruso and James Moffat on the Friday. ACS also gave away one Hot Lap in a Nissan Motorsport V8 Supercar. “We have a fantastic relationship with the Nissan Motorsport team and are proud of our association with such a prestigious team in Australian motorsport” Says Brenton Jordan. “Their presence on the stand was helpful in illustrating the development of our group over the last few years”.

Australian Clutch Services was rewarded for their efforts in the export sector over the last two years with an Australian Automotive Aftermarket Association Silver Award for excellence in export. “Our export market has been a major part of the development of the group over the past few years and to be recognized for our efforts in this sector was fantastic” explains Mr Jordan, “We have seen outstanding levels of growth and have even developed specific kits that are essentially only viable in these markets which takes an enormous level of commitment to international expansion and development. Given the high level of competition in this market and the prestigious nature a AAAA award brings, we were thrilled to receive this award.”
